[Walking along train tracks] At this rate, we’ll have caught up by sundown. Hey, can I ask you a favor?
Okay.
Can you tell me what’s happened in the last 200 years?
What do you mean?
Just the last 200 years. Like a- a quick rundown. I know about the Great War and the bombs falling, and the 320 years of American history before then. I just need help with the last 200 years. After the bombs fell.
The bombs fell when I was a kid.
Is that what they tell you in your Brotherhood?
You’re the one who grew up in a box underground. Also, you thought you would show up to some warlord with no armor, no help, and expect him to just turn over a hostage to you? Did you really think that that would work?
I had the head.
Yeah, but we don’t even know what’s in it.
That’s true. Look, I... I come from a place where the world is what you make of it. Okay? It’s not like up here. We’re naive down there. Up until I was six, I really thought that the big light on our farm was the sun. My mom used to take me to play out under that light, and I swear I could feel the sun baking my skin. After my mom was gone, I realized it was just her that made it all feel so real. So, like, Earth is round, Earth is flat. Where are you guys on that these days? So, you guys use prewar technology to find and collect prewar technology to make sure no one has prewar technology?
I mean... [chuckles] yeah.
Well, when you say it like that, I mean, yeah, it’s... [Maximus spots a couple walking onwards on train track and Lucy laughs] it’s weird. [Lucy realizes what Maximus is staring at]
You armed?
No.
Yes, we are. Are you armed?
No.
We’re just gonna walk on by. That okay with you?
It’s fine.
[Quietly] Give me your gun.
What? No.
Rink; Okay, we’re walking towards you.
There’s no one here but us and them.
It’s not safe. Give me your gun.
They said they’re not armed.
They’re lying. You’re lying.
What’s happening over there?
Yeah, we’re just being careful. You can come on through.
Are you trying to fuck us?
[Quietly] The gun.
Okay, uh, I think we’re all feeling some tension. Yeah? A little stress? [nervous chuckle] Uh, so why don’t we all take a deep breath? [Nervously chuckles]
What the fuck are you talking about?!
[Deeply exhales] Oh, okay, uh... we’re gonna do this. Um... How about on the count of three we all raise up our arms?
We already said we don’t have any weapons.
And neither do we!
Well, either way, could we... could we just give it a try? Please? Okay. Great. Uh, hands up on the count of three. Ready? One... Two... Three. [The couple attempts to shoot them with Maximus grabbing Lucy's gun finishing off both of them] Wh- Why?!
[Lifts up their jackets to find knives] Fiends. Should’ve known.
[Panting] You’ve been shot.
It’s just a scratch. Happens all the time.
What’s a fiend?
It’s people who eat people.
...I hate it up here.
